Transfer and visa information for international passengers connecting through Perth

All Qantas operated flights (international and domestic) operate from the Terminal 3 and 4 (T3/T4) precinct at Perth Airport. All other international airlines, including Jetstar, continue to operate from Perth Terminal 1 (T1). Perth T3/T4 is physically separated from T1 by a 15 minute drive, and no airside transfer facility is available.

This means that passengers making International connections in Perth between Qantas Operated and other airlines' international flights will need to obtain a visa or electronic travel authority (ETA) prior to arriving in Australia in order to move between terminals.

On arrival at T1, international passengers will need to clear Customs and Immigration, then exit the terminal and take a Perth Airport shuttle bus from T1 to T3/T4, and vice versa. For example, international passengers travelling on a non-Qantas flight from Auckland-Perth and connecting onto Qantas' Perth-London service will require an Australian visa due to the distance between T1 and T3/T4.

This will not impact international passengers who would typically obtain a transit visa to transit through Australia. Holders of a valid transit visa are able to enter Australia at T1 and proceed to T3/T4 for their connection without any additional requirements.

For International customers transiting in Perth on QF9/QF10 flights between London and Melbourne, baggage remains on the aircraft in Perth, and customs is not cleared until arriving in London or Melbourne.
